It's Official

Fall is finally here! Now, if the weather would just change to reflect the season, maybe it would feel like it! It was in the mid 80's yesterday and so hot, I even got sunburnt while mowing the lawn. Yesterday Terry finished up on most of the HVAC to where he will be able to call in an inspection today. I even helped up him in the attic crawl space wrapping the duct with that itchy insulation, not the greatest experience but I am so glad it is done!
A couple cards using some Basic Grey and Dasiy D's paper. I glittered the chipboard and added some crochet trim and handmade flowers that my friend Jennifer made for me.


A set of Shabby Christmas tags using Melissa Frances papers, some lace and pom pom trim and some chipboard stars I painted, distressed and glittered.



I made these little Gingerbread Men ornaments...


And from the negative piece of chipboard from the ornments, I made a couple cards. I couldn't bring myself to throw them away so why not recycle!


Keeping my fingers crossed that the inspection passes so we can get the sheetrock up!!
Have a wonderful, beautiful weekend!
Annette

As always, your tags are amazing! And, I love how you use the leftovers to make the cards - they are just as cute as the "main piece"!

Gorgeous projects, Annette! I just so love your beautiful shabby chic style. I think it's fabulous you recycled the gingerbread men packaging, too.
Good luck with the inspection! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Oh Annette, I just love these! Your cards are stunning and, of course, I love the tags (that pom fringe is so fun)!

It seems we had the last of our summer weather this weekend...nothing but 50's and 60's in the forecast and where we live it's not likely to do anything but get colder! I'm ready though...time to pull out the fuzzy sweaters!
